Imec and ASML have officially opened their joint High NA EUV Lithography Lab, marking a significant milestone in the journey toward advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This state-of-the-art facility will accelerate the adoption of High NA EUV lithography, enabling the production of next-generation chips with unprecedented precision. 🔍 Key Highlights: First Prototype: The lab features the first prototype High NA (0.55NA) EUV scanner, set to enhance the patterning of 14nm logic chips and DRAM memory chips. Single Exposure Efficiency: High NA EUV technology allows for the patterning of complex structures in a single exposure, significantly improving yield and reducing cycle times. Sustainability Impact: Transitioning to High NA EUV could lead to a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional multi-patterning methods. These innovative leaps are expected to pave the way for mass production by 2025-2026, redefining the semiconductor landscape!

Discover the power of ECiD. ECiD, or Electrochemically induced Deposition, is a versatile technique that allows for fabricating a wide range of materials. Extending the scope of electroplating, ECiD triggers precipitation or sol-gel reactions through localized changes in the chemical environment near the electrode surface. Applications of ECiD are vast. Think advanced coatings and electrochemical devices, particularly sensors. But the real game-changer? Energy storage and conversion. ECiD can deposit Silica (#SiO2) and Lithium phosphates (#LiPON). These materials are crucial for energy storage in batteries and supercapacitors and energy conversion by thermo- and electro-catalysis. The versatility of ECiD allows for creating complex nanostructured electrode materials with improved performance. Discover more about imec's energy innovations and read the ECiD papers.
